"There was a big surprise in store for Bayern Munich fans when the Bavarians' line up for the Bundesliga restart against VfL Wolfsburg was announced. Leon Goretzka, who had been a fairly ever present starter in the Bundesliga up to this point in the season, started on the bench in favor of the younger duo Tom Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović amid the injury enforced absence of Joshua Kimmich."
"Bayern's #8 still got his chance to shine, though. Taking the field at the stand at 4-1 in the 58th minute, the Bayern veteran set up a goal with a clever pass through to Kane and scored one himself with impressive drive to top off the scoring at 8-1. After this performance, Bayern's board member for sport, Max Eberl, was asked about the performance and Goretzka's future at the club. Eberl, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, responded like this: "We talk and then see what happens. Leon made a great cameo today with the assist and the goal.""
Bayern Munich named Leon Goretzka on the bench for the Bundesliga restart against VfL Wolfsburg, with Tom Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović selected due to Joshua Kimmich's injury. Goretzka faces contract uncertainty with his Bayern terms expiring in six months and little sign of an extension. He entered at the 58th minute with the score 4-1, provided an assist to Harry Kane, and scored to complete an 8-1 victory. Max Eberl commented that talks are ongoing and praised Goretzka's cameo. The performance may not decisively change his future but could spark improved form.
